The bad thing about lego is, once you’ve finished building the set, it’s highly likely that you’re not gonna play with the finished product, and tbh, since you make them out of blocks, they usually look kind of stupid, so you can’t really put it on display, otherwise you’ll look like an absolute spanner. Basically what I’m trying to say, is that you’re pretty much only spending your money on the building aspect of it, which could take you back upwards of $1000.

You mentioned that it took you several times build and rebuild because things didn’t work right. That is exactly why I love Lego Technics. The challenge to get things right at the first time, and when it doesn’t work out that way, you try again. I love it. I just bought the excavator for my kids (10 and 6) to try (and of course I will help when needed) so that they can experience the feeling of failure and greatness when you finish the job. Thanx for your video!
